Background
African countries are using INFFs to shape and advance financing reforms in line with their development priorities, such as poverty reduction, climate change actions, and gender equality. Reforming public finance systems is key to their financing strategies, including budgeting, public investment, debt, tax administration, transparency, and accountability. Priorities also include tax policy improvements, bond issuance, debt swaps, public-private partnerships, and combating illicit financing. These reforms aim to boost spending efficiency, align revenues with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ensure fairness in tax and spending policies, and ensure synergies across these changes.
As countries continue to strengthen financing through their INFFs, it is crucial to regularly share insights, reflect on progress, and plan for the future. The 2024 regional workshop in Ethiopia will bring the African INFFs community of practice and key stakeholders together to share ongoing experiences and insights in developing robust public financing strategies for national development priorities and the SDGs and prepare for the future, particularly the opportunity of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development (FfD4).
